just a small question, im upgrading speakers to the psb imagine series. will have t2 in the front
I have a 7.1 setup and want to keep it that way, however, in the bundle that I will be buying, I have the option of also getting the imagine S surround.
then I will use one of my other speakers for the rest of the surround duty.

for the imagine S:
would it be better to use this as a surround back? or surrounds L-R?
and which mode?

for bipole it states to use the top 2 connectors.
If I place them in the back, I believe I connect the bottom connectors and the side surrounds, the top connectors.

this is the first time I will be using such a speaker, any feedback would be great.

I have considered getting some dipole Paradigms to cover my sides with. I have 4 in the back, 4 in the front + center and sub. The sides are barron. I listened to a demo at a local retailer and they sounded like they would make a great addition to the setup.

I'm about to setup a new home theater; do you currently have the ADPs in your system?

If you upgrade to Dolby Atmos and the upcoming DTS:X object formats I would highly recommend NOT going with dipole surrounds. Monopoles or maybe bipoles instead.

No. My setup is a mixture between Monitors and Titans which created a great balance. My sides have a noticeable gap though due to the size of the room. That was why I was considering them on my sides. However, he made a good point about DTS:X. I could care less about Atmos at this point, but eventually I'll probably put "something" in my ceiling since DTS:X will support those speakers as well.

Back to the drawing board in my head.

You should care about Atmos because some studios may not support DTS:X, where they will Atmos... and vice versa. DTS:X has more flexibility than Atmos at the moment. So, it will render to Atmos speaker positions. Set up for Atmos and you're ready for DTS:X as well.

He should also wait to get a receiver til summer/fall,when the new receivers have DTS:X on them also. I have dipoles on the sides,the only problem is my side walls are pretty close,like 3 ft from the listening position on either side. Which makes monopole speakers a little close. The speakers switch from dipole to bipole,so if I do decide to go Atmos/DTS:X I'd probably switch it to bipole and put 2 speakers in the rear too for 7.1.4.

I would highly suggest that you put your energy and money into first upgrading from the Bose speakers you have. There are a number of relatively reasonable speaker brands and models that would be of far greater sonic quality and give you a significantly bigger performance boost for the money.

Well I am looking at speakers. I always look for a deal. Klipsch seems to be a speaker of many here at AVS. I am a service tech and travel a bit ran into a guy who won a 5.1 system. Yamaha AVR, subwoofer. center two front two rear speakers. Brand is Klipsch. He said how about 450.00. I asked him to take a few pics so I can check the model but after looking around seems like I should just take the deal. He told me everything is still in the box. I would think no matter what they are an upgrade from what I have now. Correct?

Klipsch horn speakers can be an acquired taste. Some, like me, would say that their high frequency response is a bit on the hot side, leading to a more fatiguing sound. Their cheaper stuff can sound less appealing IMHO.

Sometimes it is best to buy a little at a time and build up to a really great sound system.

For instance, these have been considered a great bang vs. buck budget monitor for quite some time:
